Lazy eye, corrective surgery, and how is it corrected? See details.?

Question

I am currently 20, was told I couldn't have surgery to fix my left eye until I turned 21. Is there an age limit for corrective surgery for my lazy eye?

When I put on glasses or contacts, it looks normal, however when I take them off, the left eye crosses in. If I got lasik surgery, would that mean my eye would stay crossed in or would it go back to normal?

I am afraid to get the surgery because I have been picked on since I was younger, I would only get it if it meant my eye wouldn't cross in. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Answer 2

ok, well i had surgery when i was 2 for my lazy eye.  yes, it would fix it, but it would not be perfect.  it will NEVER be perfect.  it will fix it alot, it will make the lazy eye almost aligned with the other good eye.   if you have a lazy eye because of a muscle problem [like i did] then i think they put more muscle in it to make it stonger and i think they align it too.  i think mine is different though.  yestrerday i got contacts and i think i only use one eye to focus.  the glasses help so that you can't see it, but i can't use both eyes at the same time. idk y[, but i just cant, so when i put the contacts in, one eye was turned up and in.  and i can't fix that.  just keep on wearing contacts or glasses so that they won't cross. or get the surgery.  btw, it dosen't last all your life.  it starts to wear off after the years.  yes, if you get the surgery, then they will cross, but very little.  not that noticalbe.  like for me, it goes up or sometimes it crosses, but that usually happens when i was on the computer or watching tv too long, or if i didn't get enough sleep.  but other than that, it crosses or goes up, but only people who are like looking at your eye's 24/7 can tell, and it barely even moves.  also, after the surgery, you are going to have to wear an eye patch for like 2 or 3 days. it isn't that bad..

good luck =D
